DIY home automation: TV and lights

Automation Archive

My first automation project: room lights and TV controlled from a web UI.

Where the whole automation story started: controlling the lights and TV in my room.

  • The main lights and TV are driven by infrared signals generated with LIRC on a Linux machine.
  • A second light is switched by a relay on the PC’s parallel port.
  • Everything is controlled from a web UI built with HTML, CSS, PHP and jQuery.
